It wasn't a hostile discussion or anything, i didn't even go full "the kulaks deserved it" (although the mod that single-handedly banned me did go full "the kulaks did not deserve it"). I just laid out plainly and calmly that revolutions are inherently authoritarian, that Luxemburg said "the revolution will be as violent as the ruling class makes it necessary" and that there's one Trotzki quote i 100% agree with: "If the October Revolution hadn't succeeded, the world would have known a Russian word for fascism 10 years before Mussolini's March on Rome". Basically the whole "Jakarta Method" train of thought laid out clearly and without calling anybody names.

Note that this was on an explicitly left-leaning server that does not allow cops and troops to join. Also after several days of another poster starting destructive, aggressive bad faith arguments in the politics channel until a number of users went "disengage" on her and the channel had to be frozen until recently, when she immediately started being hostile and arguing in bad faith again, which got her not one, but two warnings from the same mod without further consequences. Meanwhile, when i defend AES without attacking anybody, that's apparently too much for her to handle. No advance warning, no "sis, you're talking to me as a mod here", not even a notification that i got banned.

The best part is that according to screenshots a friend just sent me, she's now completely going off about "authoritarians". The nerve some people have.

Sorry for posting pointless internet drama here, i just needed to vent.

thats pretty shit, they never hear of trans solidarity? and do they not understand that the communist movements in those countries are still the biggest proponents of lgbt rights and are the only groups that are organized enough to achieve them?

there are many people in the communist party in russia that have advocated for lgbt rights, including Oleg Mikhailov and Alexey Kornienko, for example. and in czechia my communist representative was the one that pushed and passed czechias current lgbt laws. he lamented to me that it didnt go far enough and that the liberals in the social democrat party were watering it down. but you would never see this information on western news, if you google oleg and alexey, its just basic wikipedia articles. if you search them on russian social media, there is a huge uproar against 'grooming communists' who simply dont want gay and trans people to be shit on by all of society, including calls to ban the CPRF

hes a sad boy

he recently led a big protest in komi that was led by the communists and it was all about protesting against how the state is basically turning komi into a giant landfill against everyones wishes, and used a phrase that lenin used which basically translates to 'imperial colonialism'

some outlet said that he was hanging out with 'fascist lgbt pedophiles' lmao. one united russia politician said he wanted to 'bury' oleg and oleg said 'meet me, you are old and weak! i doubt you can even fight.'
